I’m so sorry to hear about Ganja! Parvo is a terrible disease. The good news is that if sounds like you and Ganja are pretty lucky. The at-home treatment has an estimated 80-85% survival rate anyways, and based on how you’re describing Ganja, I’m guessing she has an even better chance than that. Usually dogs start going “downhill” about day 2- 3, starts improving by day 4-5, and is basically out of the woods and almost 100% by day 7. The fact that she is eating and playing is an EXCELLENT sign. The other thing going for Ganja is her older age and bigger size. These guys tend to do better than the tiny young puppies. Keep giving the anti nausea medications and antibiotics as prescribed because keeping her eating and drinking is the best thing you can do. Hope this helps and best of luck to you and Ganja!
